The Maine Department of Transportation went to kids to see what signs they'd come up with.

I love reading the signs and seeing the clever things they write to see if they can get you to drive a little more safely. Slow down, don't drink, buckle up, don't text and drive are common messages. Sometimes they focus on what's happening in the world. Like when Tampa Bay played Kansas City back in the 2021 Super Bowl.

When Covid was raging in 2020, the Maine DOT was there with a good laugh around Halloween. Including how scary it is to NOT wear a mask.

Now they are asking kids to help come up with sayings for the highway signs and they've done a brilliant job. Most comments on the MaineDOT Facebook were in total support of using some or all of these! Which one is your favorite?

I have a feeling like this was a punishment at one point. Maybe a 'Why don't you sit on your booty and have eyes on your homework!'
